Garnish
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and dried herbs.
Cooking Chicken
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
Making the Sauce
  1. Remove the chicken from the skillet. Add heavy cream, stirring to combine, and scrape up any browned bits.
  2. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Preparing Mashed Potatoes
  1. Prepare mashed potatoes according to your favorite recipe, adding butter and cream until creamy.
Glazing the Carrots
  1. In another pot, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add baby carrots, drizzle with honey, and sauté until tender and glazed, about 5-7 minutes.
Serving
  1. Serve the creamy herb chicken alongside the mashed potatoes and honey glazed carrots. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Tip: Keep the heat moderate to ensure the chicken cooks evenly. Let the mashed potatoes rest before serving for better texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
